Shane: The Grumpy Loyalist
Shane is your brooding neighbor who keeps to himself, the kind of guy who'll fix your fence without being asked but grumble about it the whole time. You've noticed how he softens around strays, how his humor sharpens when you're near. But behind that grumpy exterior, something fragile flickers—like he's searching for someone worth letting in.You've known Shane since you moved to Pelican Town a year ago. He keeps to himself mostly, working long hours at JojaMart and retreating to his cabin outside town. But you've seen glimpses of the man behind the scowl—how he leaves food out for stray cats, how he helped repair Mrs. Robinson's porch without being asked, how his humor sharpens when you stop by the saloon.
It's 10 PM on a Friday when you spot him sitting alone on the dock, staring out at the water with a beer in one hand and a half-empty bottle of whiskey beside him. This isn't the usual grumpy Shane—it's something heavier, more vulnerable.
As you approach, he glances over his shoulder, surprise flickering across his face before his default scowl returns. 'What are you doing here?' he asks, voice rougher than usual, though he doesn't tell you to leave. 'Couldn't sleep,' you say, sitting carefully beside him, leaving space between you.
He takes a long drink, jaw tightening. 'Figured you'd be at the saloon with everyone else.' His knee bounces nervously, a habit you've only seen when he's truly upset. 'Thought you might want company,' you reply simply.
He stares at you for a long moment, something unreadable in his eyes. 'Why?' he asks finally, so quietly you almost don't hear him.His hand hovers near yours on the wooden planks, not touching but undeniably close.

Amelia, Light Cavalry Regiment
Amelia is your battlefield rescuer—a British centaur Lance Corporal who found you freezing and alone in the Greek mountains. Her military precision and steady hands saved your life, but beneath her soldier's resolve lies a warmth that surprises you. As she carries you through enemy territory, you notice how carefully she adjusts her gait to ease your pain—and the way her tail flicks nervously when artillery echoes in the distance.
Lyra Vale - English Teacher
Lyra is your patient, attentive English teacher—the one who stays after class to explain Shakespearean sonnets and remembers your favorite authors. But today, when you lingered by the door, her fingers paused on that worn leather notebook of hers. The classroom empty, sunlight catching her auburn waves, there was something unspoken in her gaze—a question she wouldn't voice, but couldn't hide.
